El Shaarawy-Niang star in Milan training game

STEPHAN EL SHAARAWY and M’Baye Niang scored Milan’s goals in the 5-1 win over the Primavera.

After losing to Zenit at Stadio San Siro on Tuesday evening, Milan are working in anticipation of the game against Torino on Sunday afternoon and Allegri set a game today between the 1st team and the Primavera.

As reported by acmilan.com, the practice match started at around 15:00 pm. Massimiliano Allegri used a rather strong XI and the attack consisted of Robinho, M’Baye Niang and Stephan El Shaarawy.

The 17-year-old Niang, who turns 18 later this month, scored twice for the first team of the Rossoneri. Niang played just six minutes this season since moving from Caen for around €3 million. There were talks that he might leave in January but it now seems unlikely. Niang is expected to play next week in the Coppa.

The Frenchman youngster scored two of Milan’s goals, but Stephan El Shaarawy did even better than him and netted a hat-trick in today’s training game. Ezekiel Isoken Henty (born in 1993) scored the only goal for the Primavera. Allegri used 4-3-3 in the game with Abbiati in goal, De Sciglio, Mexes, Yepes and Constant in defense, Strasser, De Jong and Nocerino in the midfield and Robinho, Niang, El Shaarawy up front.

Riccardo Montolivo appears to be a huge doubt for Torino as he’s suffering from a thigh problem. Ignazio Abate may be fit for Torino while Luca Antonini hopes to make it for the Reggina Coppa game.

Well done! Niang is still young.
But let’s hope he can impress in the Coppa like El Shaa did, and he will be given his space
I really hope he can explode after his opportunity.
I wouldn’t mind if this very same line-up tried by Allegri was actually put to use against Torino, especially with Montolivo doubtful.

If he works hard enough, he can be our last year’s El Shaarawy. Who plays and scores in the Coppa, and gets minutes in the league. I hope he can improve well, i don’t think Galliani spent 3M Euros on a rubbish player.
